Reasons:
- An effective antenna, even a directional one, does not need to be
prohibitively large or heavy. (my Hex Beam weighs about 7 pounds, and
has a turning radius of a little over 9 feet). Have also had success w/

You should go from the speaker jack on the K2 to a line in jack on the

'Tis better to use the auxiliary speaker jack on the back of your K2 to your
computer, NOT the headphone jack. That's because there is some frequency
shaping done in the phones output that distorts your spectrogram display.

Although you can use a standard stereo mini plug to mini plug to connect the

Love 40 meters! Always open to somewhere from East Central Indiana. It's

Hi
This looks good to me. The basic K2 power sensing circuit will not be exact. If
you have the KAT2, KAT100 OR KPA100 the power calibration can be set almost
perfect because of the better directional coupler type power meter circuit. The
basic K2 uses a peak detector using a diode and a couple
Finally the reason of this is explained by Tom N0SS. It's regarding
that the TUNE function do not use the ALC. This why we have sometime
different value when hitting the TUNE button.

checking all ouput band at 5W and 10W, I c

I like 30m. It's a nice cross between 40m and 20m. Quite often on 30m,
simply calling CQ will lead to a DX contact. Once, after finishing a

first was a Hungarian, the second an Italian, and the third from the Czech
Republic.
It's been a while since I sent out a general question like this: What

Nicholas,
If your K2 'rocks' with the bail extended, the most likely cause is either
the bail mounting feet are not the same distance from the edge of the panel
or that the rear feet are not mounted an equal distance from the edge of the

HI
The DL1 is a 50 ohm load but the RF detector is connected across only 1/2 of
the load. The detector is also a peak detector so you need to convert the peak
voltage read on the meter to RMS. So the first thing is to double the read
voltage because of the voltage divider on the DL1 then conver
